I/O key group
Config Displays the DIO Configuration dialog box used to set the
configuration of the Digital I/O interface. See “DIO
Configuration dialog box” on page 4-48.
R/W Displays the DIO Read/Write dialog box used to read or write a
value set to the Digital I/O interface. See “DIO Read/Write
dialog box” on page 4-49.
Data Output Format
Pressing the Format softkey displays the following softkeys for setting the format
and elements of the output data.
Measure Displays the Format (Measure) dialog box used to set the
elements of the measurement data output. See “Format
(Measure) dialog box” on page 4-47.
Math/Limit Displays the Format (Math/Limit) dialog box used to set the
elements of the math result data output and the limit test result
data output. See “Format (Math/Limit) dialog box” on page
4-47.
Trace Displays the Format (Trace) dialog box used to set the elements
of the trace data output. See “Format (Trace) dialog box” on
page 4-47.
Data Type Displays the following softkeys for specifying the data output
format. The present setting is indicated by an asterisk on the
softkey label.
ASCII ASCII format
REAL32 IEEE-754 single precision format, 4-byte
REAL64 IEEE-754 double precision format, 8-byte
Data Swap Displays the following softkeys for enabling or disabling the
byte swap for the IEEE-754 precision format data output. The
present setting is indicated by an asterisk on the softkey label.
OFF Disables the byte swap. Normal byte order.
ON Enables the byte swap. Reverse byte order.
If Data Swap=ON, the byte order is reversed. Byte 1 to byte 4 are sent in the order of
byte 4 to byte 1 for the IEEE-754 single precision format, and byte 1 to byte 8 are
sent in the order of byte 8 to byte 1 for the IEEE-754 double precision format.
